In November of 2012, EPYS's Board of Directors passed a policy endorsing the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Act 101, known as the “Safety In Youth Sports Act.” The Policy on Concussion Procedure and Protocol mandates concussion education for everyone involved in our sport, including parents and players. This policy also mandates certification for all coaches. In addition, all member organizations must annually certify that they are compliant with the policy.

In order to meet the fulfill the policy set forth by EPYS, each head and assistant coach in our intramural and travel programs will be required to complete a short informational training called 'Heads Up Concussion in Youth Sports." The training (a series of video clips, and short quizes) will take about 30 minutes to complete.

At the beginning of the training, it will ask for your name. Please enter your first and last name. At the end of the training, there will be an opportunity for you to print a certificate. Please provide a copy of that certificate to the Director of Travel or Director of Intramural prior to the start of the season.
